A-Rod is staying in Texas

I was hoping A-Rod would go to Boston. I love Nomar, but I don't like Manny very much. I believe that if a player doesn't want to play, and he can be traded, then get him the hell out!

Shame, because this trade would have had a lot of impact on several other teams as well.

Nomar and Manny both are unhappy with Boston right now. Should be rather entertaining to see what happens next.

I don't see the Red Sox getting equal value for both of those guys, especially in the eyes of the fans. The A Rod deal seemed to be a good fit all around.
